Fresh Inspiration: Fasting Week Three From the Archives
Fresh inspiration and encouragement await you in the archives. Week three of the fasting archives contains over sixty-five articles.
I’ve listed and grouped them by day for your convenience. But note that except for a few on Day Twenty-One, the articles apply to any day of your fast. They are not intended to be used only on the fasting day that corresponds with the day they were posted.
I have also included over fifty articles and devotions on prayer!
The content in these posts will guide and motivate you as you pray—and give you tips and direction that will help you keep your fast and get the most from it.
This webpage will be an excellent resource for you during week three of your fast. So bookmark it and refer to it for encouragement and motivation each day.
May the Holy Spirit lead you to the articles He wants you to read. May He speak to you and give you a fresh, timely word. May He encourage you, motivate you, and excite you as you fast and pray. May He reward you as you draw near to Him, believing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! (Heb. 11:6)
